LTD. ABN 83 005 019 670 Adar 5775 March 2015 Dear Friends Thank you for your continued support of the Mizrachi Charity Fund where every genuine cry for help is met promptly and sensitively. Last year your generosity enabled us to gift over $130,000 to the most vulnerable in our community - most of it in the form of food vouchers, rent payments, utility payments, car registrations, medication and interest free loans. We are often called upon in the midst of a crisis situation but our assistance is not only monetary and increasingly we are referring clients to additional service providers such as social workers, financial planners and emergency housing providers in the hope of assisting people to find long term solutions to their problems which are presented to us as financial - but are actually so much more than that. We continue to see a growth in the number of people seeking financial assistance and often these referrals are coming from other community aid providers such as Jewish Care who turn to us in order to assist where they cannot. Additionally, a significant number of referrals continue to come from our own community members concerned about families finding themselves in increasingly difficult circumstances due to illness, divorce or unemployment. Occasionally, these are the people living next door! Our Maot Chittin Appeal ensures that we can sustain our endeavours to assist throughout the year. But in particular, it ensures that we can distribute food and funds prior to Pesach which is now only a few weeks away. Many people within our community rely on us. Please help as generously as you can. Wishing you a Pesach Kasher V Sameach Sincerely Yvonne Korbl The Land of Israel for the People of Israel according to the Torah of Israel ארץ ישראל לעם ישראל על פי תורת ישראל
